storybook-addon-jsx v7.3.14

This Storybook addon shows you the JSX of the story. It can be useful to see what props you set, for example.

Getting started

Installation:

yarn add --dev storybook-addon-jsx

Add to storybook

Append the following to file called addons.js in your storybook config (default: .storybook):

import 'storybook-addon-jsx/register';

If the file doesn't exist yet, you'll have to create it.

Usage

Both have caveats and you should pick the best for your use case. There are two ways to use addon-jsx.

1. Decorator - Order matters. Will include JSX for decorators added after the jsx decorator. Use skip option to omit these
2. addWithJSX - You must change every .add to .addWithJSX. Extra decorators will not effect these.

Decorator

Import it into your stories file and then use it when you write stories:

import React from 'react';
import { storiesOf } from '@storybook/react';
import { jsxDecorator } from 'storybook-addon-jsx';

const Test = ({
  fontSize = '16px',
  fontFamily = 'Arial',
  align = 'left',
  color = 'red',
  children
}) => (
  <div style={{ color, fontFamily, fontSize, textAlign: align }}>
    {children}
  </div>
);

storiesOf('test', module)
  .addDecorator(jsxDecorator)
  .add('Paris', () => (
    <Test fontSize={45} fontFamily="Roboto" align="center" color="#CAF200">
      Hello
    </Test>
  ))
  .add('Orleans', () => <Test color="#236544">Hello</Test>);

storiesOf('test 2', module)
  .addDecorator(jsxDecorator)
  .add('Paris', () => <div color="#333">test</div>);

You can also configure globally:

import { configure, addDecorator } from '@storybook/vue';
import { jsxDecorator } from 'storybook-addon-jsx';

addDecorator(jsxDecorator);

function loadStories() {
  require('../stories/index.js');
  // You can require as many stories as you need.
}

configure(loadStories, module);

import { storiesOf } from '@storybook/vue';

storiesOf('Vue', module).add('template property', () => ({
  template: `<div></div>`
}));

addWithJSX

Import it into your stories file and then use it when you write stories:

import React from 'react';
import { setAddon, storiesOf } from '@storybook/react';
import JSXAddon from 'storybook-addon-jsx';

setAddon(JSXAddon);

const Test = ({
  fontSize = '16px',
  fontFamily = 'Arial',
  align = 'left',
  color = 'red',
  children
}) => (
  <div style={{ color, fontFamily, fontSize, textAlign: align }}>
    {children}
  </div>
);

storiesOf('test', module)
  .addWithJSX('Paris', () => (
    <Test fontSize={45} fontFamily="Roboto" align="center" color="#CAF200">
      Hello
    </Test>
  ))
  .addWithJSX('Orleans', () => <Test color="#236544">Hello</Test>);

storiesOf('test 2', module).addWithJSX('Paris', () => (
  <div color="#333">test</div>
));

You can also configure globally:

import { configure, setAddon } from '@storybook/react';
import JSXAddon from 'storybook-addon-jsx';

setAddon(JSXAddon);

function loadStories() {
  require('../stories/index.js');
  // You can require as many stories as you need.
}

configure(loadStories, module);

Options

You can pass options as a third parameter. Options available:

JSX

• skip (default: 0) : Skip element in your component to display
• Options from react-element-to-jsx-string

// Option displayName
storiesOf('test 2', module).addWithJSX(
  'Paris',
  () => <TestContainer>Hello there</TestContainer>,
  { jsx: { displayName: 'Test' } } // can be a function { displayName: element => 'Test' }
);
// Output
// <Test>Hello there</Test>

//Option skip
storiesOf('test 2', module).addWithJSX(
  'Paris',
  () => (
    <div color="#333">
      <Test>Hello</Test>
    </div>
  ),
  { jsx: { skip: 1 } }
);
// Output
// <Test>Hello</Test>

• onBeforeRender(domString: string) => string (default: undefined) : function that receives the dom as a string before render.

/Option onBeforeRender
storiesOf('test 2', module).addWithJSX(
  'Paris',
  () => (
    <div color="#333">
      <div dangerouslySetInnerHTML={{ __html: '<div>Inner HTML</div>',}} />
    </div>
  ),
  {
    jsx: {
      onBeforeRender: domString => {
        if (domString.search('dangerouslySetInnerHTML') < 0) {
          return ''
        }
        try {
          domString = /(dangerouslySetInnerHTML={{)([^}}]*)/.exec(domString)[2]
          domString = /(')([^']*)/.exec(domString)[2]
        } catch (err) {}
        return domString
      },
    }
  },
);
// Output
// <div>Inner HTML</div>

Not JSX

If a Vue story defines its view with a template string then it will be displayed

• enableBeautify (default: true) : Beautify the template string
• HTML options from js-beautify

//Option indent_size
storiesOf('test 2', module).addWithJSX(
  'Paris',
  () => ({
    template: `<Test>
Hello
                          </Test>`
  }),
  { jsx: { indent_size: 2 } }
);
// Output
// <Test>
//   Hello
// </Test>

Global Options

To configure global options for this plugin, add the following to your config.js.

import { addParameters } from '@storybook/react';

addParameters({
  jsx: {
    // your options
  }
});

Testing with storyshots

If you are using the addWithJSX method you will need to include addon-jsx in your test file.

import initStoryshots from '@storybook/addon-storyshots';
import { setAddon } from '@storybook/react';
import JSXAddon from 'storybook-addon-jsx';

setAddon(JSXAddon);

initStoryshots({
  /* configuration options */
});

Usage with IE11

Some of the dependencies that this package has use APIs not available in IE11. To get around this you can add the following to your webpack.config.js file (your paths might be slightly different):

config.module.rules.push({
  test: /\.js/,
  include: path.resolve(__dirname, '../node_modules/stringify-object'),
  use: [
    {
      loader: 'babel-loader',
      options: {
        presets: ['env']
      }
    }
  ]
});
